A [i]lattice point[/i] in the plane is a point with integral coordinates. The[i] centroid[/i] of four points $(x_i,y_i )$, $i = 1, 2, 3, 4$, is the point $\left(\frac{x_1 +x_2 +x_3 +x_4}{4},\frac{y_1 +y_2 +y_3 +y_4 }{4}\right)$. Let $n$ be the largest natural number for which there are $n$ distinct lattice points in the plane such that the centroid of any four of them is not a lattice point. Prove that $n = 12$.

The function $f(x)$ has the property that, for some real positive constant $C$, the expression \[\frac{f^{(n)}(x)}{n+x+C}\] is independent of $n$ for all nonnegative integers $n$, provided that $n+x+C\neq 0$. Given that $f'(0)=1$ and $\int_{0}^{1}f(x) \, dx = C+(e-2)$, determine the value of $C$. Note: $f^{(n)}(x)$ is the $n$-th derivative of $f(x)$, and $f^{(0)}(x)$ is defined to be $f(x)$.

A cat is trying to catch a mouse in the non-negative quadrant \[N=\{(x_1,x_2)\in \mathbb{R}^2: x_1,x_2\geq 0\}.\] At time $t=0$ the cat is at $(1,1)$ and the mouse is at $(0,0)$. The cat moves with speed $\sqrt{2}$ such that the position $c(t)=(c_1(t),c_2(t))$ is continuous, and differentiable except at finitely many points; while the mouse moves with speed $1$ such that its position $m(t)=(m_1(t),m_2(t))$ is also continuous, and differentiable except at finitely many points. Thus $c(0)=(1,1)$ and $m(0)=(0,0)$; $c(t)$ and $m(t)$ are continuous functions of $t$ such that $c(t),m(t)\in N$ for all $t\geq 0$; the derivatives $c'(t)=(c'_1(t),c'_2(t))$ and $m'(t)=(m'_1(t),m'_2(t))$ each exist for all but finitely many $t$ and \[(c'_1(t)^2+(c'_2(t))^2=2 \qquad (m'_1(t)^2+(m'_2(t))^2=1,\] whenever the respective derivative exists. At each time $t$ the cat knows both the mouse's position $m(t)$ and velocity $m'(t)$. Show that, no matter how the mouse moves, the cat can catch it by time $t=1$; that is, show that the cat can move such that $c(\tau)=m(\tau)$ for some $\tau\in[0,1]$.

A very large number of small particles forms a spherical cloud. Initially they are at rest, have uniform mass density per unit volume $\rho_0$, and occupy a region of radius $r_0$. The cloud collapses due to gravitation; the particles do not interact with each other in any other way. How much time passes until the cloud collapses fully? (The constant $0.5427$ is actually $\sqrt{\frac{3 \pi}{32}}$.) $\textbf{(A) } \frac{0.5427}{r_0^2 \sqrt{G \rho_0}}\\ \\ \textbf{(B) } \frac{0.5427}{r_0 \sqrt{G \rho_0}}\\ \\ \textbf{(C) } \frac{0.5427}{\sqrt{r_0} \sqrt{G \rho_0}}\\ \\ \textbf{(D) } \frac{0.5427}{\sqrt{G \rho_0}}\\ \\ \textbf{(E) } \frac{0.5427}{\sqrt{G \rho_0}}r_0$
